[PATCH 1/2] sched: Bring the PF_IO_WORKER and PF_WQ_WORKER bits closer together

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>]

The bits PF_IO_WORKER and PF_WQ_WORKER are tested together in
sched_submit_work() which is considered to be a hot path.
If the two bits cross the 8 or 16 bit boundary then most architecture
require multiple load instructions in order to create the constant
value. Also, such a value can not be encoded within the compare opcode.

By moving the bit definition within the same block, the compiler can
create/use one immediate value.

For some reason gcc-10 on ARM64 requires both bits to be next to each
other in order to issue "tst reg, val; bne label". Otherwise the result
is "mov reg1, val; tst reg, reg1; bne label".

Move PF_VCPU out of the way so that PF_IO_WORKER can be next to
PF_WQ_WORKER.

Could someone from the ARM64 camp please verify if this a gcc "bug" or
opcode/arch limitation? With PF_IO_WORKER as 1 (without the PF_VCPU
swap) I get for ARM:

| tst     r2, #33 @ task_flags,
| beq     .L998           @,

however ARM64 does here:
| mov     w0, 33  // tmp117,
| tst     w19, w0 // task_flags, tmp117
| bne     .L453           //,

the extra mov operation. Moving PF_IO_WORKER next to PF_WQ_WORKER as
this patch gives me:
| tst     w19, 48 // task_flags,
| bne     .L453           //,
